Gurudwara Sri Nanak Puri Sahib stands in the village of Tanda, near Kicha, reached from Rudrapur (the district headquarters of Udham Singh Nagar) or from Kicha itself. At the request of Bhai Hara Ji, Guru Nanak Dev Ji came to this area, sending Bhai Bala Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji ahead undercover while Guru Sahib himself took the form of a child and sat waiting to be found.

A Ruhela Pathan captured the child and, ignoring his own wife’s objections, sold him on for the price of two horses. Each merchant who bought the child Guru set him a task — guarding an orchard from birds, tending sheep, drawing water from a well — and each time, what the child Guru foretold came to pass exactly: the guarded orchard withered the instant he stepped inside it and turned green again the moment he left (the spot now marked by Gurudwara Sri Guru Ka Bag Sahib); a sheep he touched with his staff fell dead, and rose again at a second touch (now Gurudwara Sri Mar Jiwala Sahib); and the local wells and river ran dry until the Pathans, gathered in their mosque, agreed to give up the trade in human lives altogether, at which point the waters returned in abundance (now Gurudwara Sri Ghat Sahib).

Each merchant, witnessing these wonders, recognised the presence of the Divine in the child before him and bowed at his feet, vowing never again to trade in human beings. Through this journey, Guru Sahib brought an end to the practice among all the Pathans of the region, including the very man who had first captured him — whom he blessed with a new name, Kalyan Singh.
